Today I've been trying to follow a couple of different guides to try to bypass the activation screen of the G1. I would like to do it myself without having to borrow a sim from someone.
The problem starts with flashing to rc29. I downloaded the file from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548924. The problem is when i put it onto my memory card and start up the phone into bootloader, it flashes to the gray screen for a second where it says theres no image file.
I also tried to follow the instructions from that thread but I can't get the adb shell to work because it just opens up for half a second then it goes away. I might have gotten it to work, but when i type adb devies my phone is not listed there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
did you rename the file to dreaimg.nbh? If its not the .nbh file, the G1 wont find it.
Your sdcard must be fat32 for it to see, 2nd extract the dreaimg.nbh and put it on the main folder(root) then use the bootloader, there is a much simplier way of doing it by going over to the q&a and look for a thread one click root by davic
I think it already came with that file name, right now I'm trying to figure out how to connect the phone with adb. I'm gonig to try JF's method instead of flashing it to rc29 first. If you can help me on that or flashing it to rc 29 first that would be great.
@gridlock my sd card is already formatted, and I can't use the one click root because I can't pass the activation screen.

To bypass the setup screen, reboot the phone press and hold the menu button, till the phone boots up to the desktop in safe mood then u can continue rooting or turn wifi on to get network access..
That'ld be cool if that actually works, I've never heard of bypassing it that way.
OP, I know it's annoying...but you only have to do it once. Just get a friend's sim card and setup your phone...unless the above method actually works!

It was one of the first tricks we learned in OCT. 2008
To all devs out there ,im been trying to root the hero for a week now ,ive tried every guide going also the gold card with 10 different sd cards with no luck.the rom what ive got is the release 2.73.405.66 rom.it has the new nboot is thats why i cant flash.is there any way i can wipe all date and software so i will have nothing on the phone and then install an earlier rom, its just an idea as im starting to lose it with this fone.i hope someone can help me or do i have to wait for the official update from htc
with this rom version you need to create a goldcard and downgrade your rom before you can install a custom rom. if you have problems with the goldcard you should be more specific.
waiting for the update doesn't seem like the best idea, because it might take some until a security flaw is found that allows to root the rom when already installed on the phone. if you have the custom recovery image you will be able to install the (pre-rooted) update short time after it was released.
You should be able to use fastboot for this issue.
Search around the forums, (also http://hero.modaco.com) and read about it.
All you need is the fasboot tool, a usb cable and the "debugging mode" switched on at ur phone...
everytime i create the gold card and try to downgrade the rom it states boot error 140.i follow the guides very indepth i get the serial number from the sdcard than i reverse the string and then replace the first two numbers or letters with 2 zeros how can you tell when the goldcard is on the sdcard.when i replace the sdcard back in sdcard reader it states that the folder is empty.im quite clued up on winmo but android is giving me a headache
wouldn't the fastboot give you the "remote: not allowed" error?
anyway, you can try:
start your phone by holding back and pushing power, you should see three skating androids. put recovery image in the folder where your fastboot.exe is, open terminal and go to that folder and type:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.1.img
if that works report back.
for the goldcard i can't help, never did it.
at last im rooted thanks for for the help .the way i did
(with the phone in normal mode)
1) Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...
2) Open Command Prompt ->
Put in the following text ->
C:\Users\Username> cd\
C:\>cd android\tools\
C:\>android\tools>adb push recovery-RA-Hero-v1.5.3.1.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-Hero-v1.5.3.1.img
C:\>android\tools>adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-Hero-v1.5.3.1.img
3) JOB DONE!

I guys, I seem to be having the same issue as the OP. Having tried the above it tells me that there is an error writing recovery: Permission denied. Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks!

Getting exactly the same. Tried the goldcard method numerous times using 3 different cards and always get the bootloader 140 error. Tried the above with same errors... very frustrating!
Mine is a UK T-Mobile G2 with build number 2.73.110.26, any suggestions gratefully tried!
Edit: Finally managed to sort it. I was using "RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_1.76.405.1_R3_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe" - this didnt work. Once I found and tried RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe it all clicked into place!
Thanks for all the info provided on these forums, cheers!

Hi
I have tried making a goldcard, and installed via. the RUU shown here.. 405.5 .. but then I tried using Flashrec to get another recovery image, it failed making the first step...
So is my phone rooted or did something go wrong ?
the phone is still unfortunately not rooted. I would've tried the fastboot method

just curious but did anyone just try to flash the older version without bothering with the goldcard...i dun know what i did to my htc hero orange but when i was researching i was told i needed to downgrade to root. I tried to take a long shot and used htc sync and old orange ruu..and somehow it just downgraded itself.... i know it might not help but its a long shot!

Very similar story. I did make a goldcard but hadn't got as far as finding out how to extract the update.zip out of the RUU exe, in order to use it. I tried running the RUU to see what would happen & my Hero downgraded.
i just switched from the droid x to the evo 4g and had my droid x rooted with z4root. now is there anyway like that to root or no? ive tryed unrevoked never connected to my phone....im a noob to this stuff and want the easiest way aswell as being able to use custom roms and what not please help!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't get more simple than this:

Screen shot of error?
got it to download just waiting on the autoroot thing to download its taking forever
the autoroot file doesnt even open nor can u extract files or anything from it
are you on a mac? sounds like it to me.
nope on windows 7 i downloaded the zip created a sep file on my desktop for it went to extract said it couldnt needed a compressed file so made on and still doesnt work
says access to the compressed zipped folder deniied
Try unrevoked again. Make sure you install the modified hboot drivers since you're on Win7. Uninstall HTC Sync if you have it installed... along with anything else that communicates/syncs with your phone. Turn on usb debugging (that's probably why it couldn't find your phone) and try running it again. Also make sure your phone is connected in "charge-only" mode, not as disk drive.

Read, read, read. Then read some more. Seriously. You need to fully understand what you're doing before you do it.
If you want something iPhone-like, try MIUI with an iPhone theme. Once you've read everything you can find, if you still have questions then send me a pm and I'll help you out. Just do some research first, and go ahead and do a nandroid backup before making any changes to system apps or anything else.

Ok so found by mistake but will help ones with no sd slot to make goldcard
Ok so first dl. Superoneclick root then the auto rooter for 2.1 will let u know what its called later(ultra easy rooter)
Next 1a.open super1click and ulter easy rooter
2a.in super1click do the shell root
3a.the run ulter easy rooter,once finished u will be at the fastboot screen
4a.click fast boot to go to boot loader screen and then hit vol up to update"esrpimg" once that is done u will be back to 2.1.
5a.once the phone has loaded back up to 2.1 and root just go to recovery and load a rom
NOTE: put update.zip on root of sd so u can load cwm other wish u only get root
AND sry still no way to get soff....
HOPE that is better........for the pickie ones
That is by far the longest run on sentence ive ever seen. You should edit and complete your thoughts. As well as add info on to what your actually explaining. Such as a complete history of the problem. And links to the original related post.

Is this just another root method or will this also downgrade H-Boot, allowing someone to achieve S-Off after downgrading from 2.2 and H-Boot 1.0+
Your phone info in your sig says that your mytouch slide is S-Off'd. If it's true that you can achieve S-Off using this method, that would be huge news.
From what I have tryed alparev does not get soff when I did the downgrade all got changed buttbut the bootloader and the hboot will not allow me to get soff so so far no luck
the hoboot i have after downgrade is hboot 1.02.0000
now i dont know what the old hboot was so if anyone knows plz let me know so I can try to push it sum how
Thats sig is because I have muti slides so plz don't mistake it for what I'm posting now all this was tryed on new slide with 2.2.1
Has anyone ever tested this? I don't have a MT3GS anymore but this seems like a pretty awesome and pain free process to gain root.
I would also like to know if this works?
Yes it does work have done it muti times just to check and check YES it works.....
YES this surprisingly does work. The only problem I had was that the update file wasn't on my SD card so I continued to get a signature filed message when I tried to update. All I did was to copy the file from the mtg rooter fille over to my SD card and ran the update and it worked perfectly. I'm rooted and very happy!
Had to get my slide replaced and the new one came with 2.2.1. I used this method and it got me back to a rooted 2.1 state just like it says. Thanks for coming up with this one.
Really quick and easy! Thanks so much. Too bad T-Mobile is shipping these with 2.2.1 on them, no more S-Off...
Outstanding! Thanks for the tip. Worked flawlessly.
This would be awesome if there were links to where to download everything so someone doesn't download the wrong thing by mistake
important links
I agree with the last post ... links are critical here. This was the easiest rooting process I have ever encountered. Below are links left out by OP. Follow OP's instructions with these files and you'll be rooted quickly and painlessly.
super one click (v1.7 worked flawlessly for me)

ultra easy rooter (mt3gslide specific)
http://www.fileserve.com/file/y8yFvWb
This method should be the new rooting method for folks receiving replacement or new slides with 2.2. This should, IMO, be in development.
Thank god for this method. My phone up and died and the replacement came with 2.2.1. I tried a few other methods that failed. This one worked like a charm.
nice
wish i would have stopped back here would have saved me from having to downgrade, root, then upgrade back too 2.2 smh.... lol but nice to know yeah!!!!
Very helpful
I am going to try this method soon. Do we need anything else other than those two files to get our phones operational again? I want to try cm7 nightly, but want to make sure the phone would work before trying to put on another rom.

1. Download the 2 files in post #13/ thanks NJAZ (SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse.zip and mt3srooter.zip)
2. Extract them to their own folders on the desktop of your computer
3. Run the .exe files within each of the folders (open the programs SuperOneClick and mt3srooter--run as admin if using Vista or Win7)
4.In the Super1Click program, click "Shell Root", wait a moment til it does its thing
5.In the mt3gs rooter program, click on "Root Me"
It will tell you to turn on the wifi on your phone, and you must do it within 30 seconds, so hurry
6.Your phone will reboot into bootloader mode if all goes well. Use your volume buttons to navigate down to the fastboot option, and choose it with the power button. The phone will scan your sd card and find ESPRIMG.zip, and take a while checking the file. When it is finished checking the file, press the volume up button to confirm that you want to flash the file. Once it is finished flashing, you're rooted on stock 2.1 Eclair ROM.
I dont know if these programs put the update.zip for CWM onto your sd card too, I already had that and the ESPRIMG.zip on my card when I used this method, so if all else fails you, put a card into your phone with these files on the root of it into your phone and then use the 2 programs to gain root. Dont be afraid to try it a couple of times if it doesn't work the first time, and make sure that you have the correct drivers for your phone installed on your computer. To get into CWM Recovery to be able to flash custom ROMs, boot into bootloade by starting your phone and holding the vol-down button, and you will get a black screen with a red triangle. Then press power and vol-down and choose "Apply Update.zip" and in a moment you will be in CWM Recovery,as long as you have the file on the root of your sd card.
Just thought I'd spell it all out very detailed and simple for anybody less familiar with all this kind of stuff, makes for less "please explain step #...." posts.
ugh
this is soooo lame!!!!!!!!!!! n not ur post but my situation i cant get it!!!! it goes thru the process on ultra easy but one it get to the writting on cmd it says it wasnt "cd /sqlite_stmt_journals" then it says that the exploidcant be found and the rest of the other things that the program tries to push....im getting so frustrated..ived rooted g1 mytouch droid evo ived unlocked jailbroken all iphone models from 1st gen to iphone 4 all ipods unlocked blackberrys gotten to root on hd7 put android and wp7 on a hd2.... but this devices i am having so many problems!!!! ived tried every method and get to the same stop forget this phone im getting on craigslist n trading!
this worked for me....im still having problems with the a2sd tho...

3. Connect your device to the system and run Aplharev.exe.
4. You will be asked to enter a Beta key at this stage. Simple copy the serial number that shows up in the brackets in the prompt as shown in the screenshot above, and paste it into the form on the download page.
5. Hit the Generate Key on that form and once you have the key, enter it into the prompt to see a Beta key accepted message.
6. The application will start the S-Off procedure and should complete in around 90 seconds. Incase it does not start, wait fro around 15 minutes and re-do the whole process.
After doing the above procedure downgrade to HTC aria 2.1 then you be able to root you aria once more and flash any files. Please donate to alpharev too they made it possible.you can find the old 2.1 ruu in xda
PS I have done it and it works.
Man talk about timing. My fr008 aria bit the dust and I had to get another via ins. well it came factory with 2.2.2. I was pissed off about that and started looking for a fix and found one here. I will have to wait till tomorrow or Monday to try it because the unit they sent me has a bad ear piece and they are sending a new one but I will post my results when I get my new, new phone. Thanks for the work on this.
No link to file do I need to search XDA or did you forget to attach it.

Uh no, Theonew is exactly right. Not only is he right, but he gave a link showing exactly what he was talking about. In an ultimate showing of irony, you blasted someone for not doing his research when it's actually you who hasn't done his research.
Once you have S-OFF you don't need to use the 2.1 RUU or Unrevoked. It's a waste of time. You can push Clockwork recovery to your phone via fastboot, then flash whatever you want. It takes literally 2 seconds to flash Clockwork in this manner after you have S-OFF.

I really didn't have any need to either. I was perfectly happy with a fully rooted Aria running CM 7.0.3, but curiosity got the best of me, plus I had just ordered a HTC Incredible S, so I decided to 'practice' the AlphaRevX process on my Aria.
Installed the Froyo 2.2.2 update and then ran AlphaRevX and it went without a hitch. Got CWM reinstalled and superuser reinstalled and it was a really painless.
Nice!! thanks for the feedback M8
not to stray off topic, but now with S-Off achieved is it possible to downgrade HBoot with .zip file?? or is this sticky which can only be done using a box??
i may upgrade anyway just for kicks, but it would be great if we could downgrade HBoot again too

AlphaRevX is able to overwrite HBOOT 1.02 and replace it with their own that has S-OFF. It looks like they set the HBOOT version very high, so that 'downgrading' with say a RUU will fail. So if you find a way to replace this special HBOOT, you will loose S-OFF.
yah after reading a bit i see the Alpharev hack is a pached HBOOT. so i believe you are correct, removing it will make it S-On again. too bad

The link you posted to does not have a clockworkmod listed for Aria. Which one do I use?
i would use THIS One. finally Clockwork without the recovery screen during charging
once you aquire S-off you can install Clockwork using Android Flasher
